“Stepping into the 12th five year plan period (2011-2015), the Chinese government is putting unprecedented emphasis on environmental protection, energy strategy and the healthcare system through huge investments,” observed Jiang.

“A sequence of plans and guidelines has shown the government’s solid determination to solve the problems of accelerated industrialization,” he noted.

The industries addressed by the Chinese initiatives are expected to have rapid growth and will create immense opportunities for both local players and foreign companies, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
